Attack

During a LAN party, many photos were taken of hijinks. Some time later, the photos were reviewed and Joe mentioned it looked like Jim was attacking Doug (the poor soul to the side). Thus the idea was born. The background, originally Jim's basement, was replaced by a snapshot taken during a photo excursion in Perrysburg, OH. Due to Jim's natural vampiric tendencies and the red eye effect of the camera flash, it was the next obvious step to add bat wings to the attacker. Knowing full well that the lighting is what determines how believable an edited photo is, a black silhouette of the two characters was skewed and injected with transparency to create a shadow.
